The Awaysis demo has taught me what Diablo always needed was a crumb of Gang Beasts slapstick https://t.co/i55M2yzd4y

Awaysis, the cutest and most bouncy little dungeon crawler. It reminds me of Spyro classic and just is so fun in a nice simple way. It goes up to 4 players too so you can have the true Gamecube experience. https://t.co/ETDQs2slEq

@ROMvg @thamesandhudson You guys did a bang-up job once again, very well done!

The Wipeout Graphic Archives by way of Thames and Hudson showed up today. Unbelievably classy tome dedicated to the sexiest game franchise of all time! Still unmatched! It’s impossible to overstate the influence this series had on turning games from toys into cutting edge hotness
